Description

DESCRIPTION :

The designers of the original 990 were on a mission to create the best running shoe on the market. The MADE in USA 990v6 continues that original mission, with a series of performance tweaks. The upper dispenses with the standard midfoot saddle, allowing suede and synthetic overlays to extend from heel to toe over the mesh underlay, for a dynamic and streamlined look. The new 990 model features many changes from the previous version, and the leap forward is most evident on the inside. With the added cushioning of the FuelCell midsole, the 990's evolution is as noticeable as it is felt. As part of the seasonal MADE in USA collection, the updated model features woodland-inspired "true camo" hues.

THE BRAND :

The story of New Balance began in 1906 in Boston, Massachusetts, with shoe insoles for people with foot problems. Today, New Balance is not only one of the most innovative running shoe manufacturers, but also one of the oldest. From ambitious marathon runners to recreational runners, for a fast-paced workout on asphalt or a trail run in the mountains, New Balance offers the right shoe for every situation. New Balance's versatile color and style palettes offer something for every sneakerhead, and the brand enjoys cult status, especially with its traditional models. The New Balance brand was founded by orthopedic shoemaker William R. Riley. While observing chickens in his garden and noticing that they had an extremely stable stance with their three claws, he had the idea to develop a new insole with three supports. For him, it was "New Balance." And at the same time, he had found the right name for his company.
